Kosini,Bogi a vs. Logv,Hanus a - Faroese-ch Open 2025 1/2-1/2
In the Faroese-ch Open 2025 on 2025.04.14, Kosini,Bogi made a move that could be considered a follow-up to capture, as he played Qd4+, putting pressure on Logv,Hanus's position. However, by choosing this move, Bogi may have missed an opportunity to intensify the threat, instead opting for a more conservative approach. The queen's move forces Logv,Hanus to respond with a piece movement, which could be seen as a way to gain tempo advantage in the game. Despite gaining some tempo, Bogi failed to seize the winning tempo, leaving himself open to counter-attacks.
By playing Qd4+, Bogi also defended his attacked queen, bringing it under better protection and securing its safety for the time being. Nevertheless, this move could have been improved by finding a better way to protect Logv,Hanus's piece that was previously underdefended, potentially leading to more favorable material exchange opportunities in the future.
It is unclear whether Bogi intentionally pinned opponent's piece or created a fork with his queen, but either way, he missed an opportunity to attack multiple pieces at once. Furthermore, this move failed to develop the queen for active play, as it seems that the focus was placed on defensive play rather than creating attacking chances. Overall, while Qd4+ gained some tempo advantage, it ultimately felt like a missed chance for Bogi to create more significant threats against Logv,Hanus.
